the nutty woman at number 12 would shop me without a second thought lol.

mind you I do take great pride in getting her going, nothing like being screamed at by a screaming banshee as your trying to park just because you revved the engine a little when passing her door. :rofl:

I went and had a quick word with the owner of a refurb company today, he reccons that shadow chrome would blend in with body colour too much and sugested I go for a full vibration polish and clear coat protection (for the same price as the shadow chrome).

Hmmmmm started me off looking at colour again. grrrrrrrr another wasted 2 hours lol

Bit of an update.

After what seems like a lifetime I finally deceided to go for ceramic polishing, however because of a previous strip and refurb (not done by me) the damn alloy has been stained :headbang: so can't be ceramic polished to a flawless finish.

After looking at alot more colours I finally went for a really nice looking nickel chrome finish, and think it will look the dogs once done.

Will update with an image once I have them finished and back on the car next mon/tue.

Anthracite is a really nice colour for the Alpina wheels.

I think it might be jagged if you're uploading a hi-res image and the forum software compresses it when it posts. Try uploading a lower-res (smaller file size) image and see if it fixes it. Would like to know if this is the case or not.
Really unusual colour finish - haven't seen anything like that before :thumbsup:
